Default Rear screen

Might sound like a daft question, but what rear screen is used on the MX250?

I notice no side repeters but you had an Mot before the BBQ, seems its all down to interpretation of the rules.

Hi T, my indicators are 100% legal because...
They are visible 45degrees forward to the opposite side, and are visible behind within 5 degrees if the centerline.
In the recess below the headlights I have outer distance markers (white side lights). If you gave your indicators there they will not pass, but you know that now!!
Cheers,
Nick

Hi Nick, I was going by the rule of standing 10m to the side in line with the rear of the car, you can see the indicator falshing but its only a reflection and you need to see the lense, by the way where did you put your indicaters?

Nick, where have you got this info from - is it from IVA regs as I've been looking at C&U regs for a possible a352 build and it says that any vehicle first used after 1 April 86 needs side repeaters (and shows diagrams of required angles etc).

Some diagram Mister Towed posted ages ago. It had the visibility requirements on it. I think it was from the DVLA or The Ministry.

My mx250 passed its mot without side repeaters. As long as the orange flashing light is visible from the side it's ok!
That's how i understood what the tester was saying anyway.

What's great is you're painting it. Whatever colour you choose.

This is the C&U regs:

1. Number (on each side of a vehicle)–
(a) A motor vehicle with three or more wheels, not being a motor bicycle combination, first used on or after 1st April 1986: One front indicator (Category 1, 1a or 1b), one rear indicator (Category 2, 2a or 2b) and one side repeater indicator (Category 5) or, in the case of a motor vehicle having a maximum speed not exceeding 25 mph, one front indicator (Category 1, 1a or 1b) and one rear indicator (Category 2, 2a or 2b).
(b) A trailer manufactured on or after 1st October 1985 drawn by a motor vehicle: One rear indicator (Category 2, 2a or 2b) or, in the case of a trailer towed by a solo motor bicycle or a motor bicycle combination, one rear indicator (Category 12).
(c) A solo motor bicycle and a motor bicycle combination, in each case first used on or after 1st April 1986: One front indicator (Category 1, 1a, 1b or 11) and one rear indicator (Category 2, 2a, 2b or 12).
(d) A motor vehicle first used on or after 1st January 1936 and before 1st April 1986, a trailer manufactured on or after 1st January 1936 and before 1st October 1985, a pedal cycle with or without a sidecar or a trailer, a horse-drawn vehicle and a vehicle drawn or propelled by hand: Any arrangement of indicators so as to satisfy the requirements for angles of visibility in paragraph 3.
(e) A motor vehicle first used before 1st April 1936 and any trailer manufactured before that date: Any arrangement of indicators so as to make the intention of the driver clear to other road users.

And this is the MOT requirement for post 86 only:

Vehicles first used on or after 1 April 1986 must be fitted with one side repeater indicator on each side. Instead of a separate lamp, the side repeater might be part of the front direction indicator if it includes a wraparound lens. Lamps incorporating a side repeater are marked either with an ‘E’ mark in a circle or an ‘e’ mark in a rectangle above which is a number 5. However, some vehicles are fitted with a wraparound lens with no European approval markings. These can be tested by standing approximately 1000mm to the side of the vehicle’s rear bumper with the indicator on. If amber light can be seen coming through the front lens (not a reflection) this is acceptable.

Luckily, I have a sensible MOT inspector
